Targeting Senescent Cells as a Treatment for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Targeting Senescent Cells as a Treatment for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Summary

Presently largely irreversible lung disease like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were one of the first conditions targeted for the development of senolytic therapies to clear senescent cells. A range of evidence supports a prominent role for an increased burden of senescent cells in airway and lung tissues in these conditions. Here,...
